Two more things to reinforce the point. When the losses happen could matter in the human polls (clemson would close out with a loss, while we would redeem ourselves against a ranked team on the road). If UCLA wins this week i wouldn't be surprised to see us end up ahead of clemson in the human polls. But even if UCLA loses and clemson keeps it close with south carolina, they will still finish off with a fall, so probably pretty close to us.
And, second, we won't even need to be ahead of them in the human polls, just within a spot or two. We're currently 4 spots down from them in both human polls, but far enough ahead in the computers to be very, very close in overall standings. Both of our remaining games would be better than theirs by quite a bit, so our advantage in the comps would get even bigger.
I really wish FSU hadn't pulled off that ridiculous comeback last Thursday....
